Instructions

1. Serve tomato basil soup with a dry Sauvignon Blanc wine. Sauvignon Blanc wine is zesty and tart while being a versatile wine that complements tomato-based foods well. The zest and zing of the tomato and basil will blend deliciously with the dry tartness of the wine.

2. Pair the tomato soup with the Pinot Gris wine. This light and fragrant white wine will add a faintly citrus air to the meal, an excellent complement to the bold tomato soup. Considered similar, yet different, from the traditional chardonnay, Pinot Gris is a dry, white wine that will not overpower tomato basil soup.

3. Offer Gamay Noir wine with a hot bowl of tomato basil soup. Although Gamay Noir has more tannin than Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, it is still somewhat light due to the bluish-purple color of the grapes. Gamay Noir wine has a fragrant and floral taste that enhances the taste of the tomato soup.
